💰 Crypto.com CEO buys AI.com for $70M
🖱 Kris Marszalek, founder and CEO of Crypto.com, bought the AI.com domain for about $70M paid in crypto. It is the largest publicly disclosed domain sale to date.
🖱 The project is positioned as a consumer AI platform, starting with a personal AI agent for messaging, app use, and stock trading. The focus is simplicity for non-technical users.
🖱 Marszalek calls it a long-term bet on AI as a major tech wave over the next 10 to 20 years. He says he already received large offers for the domain but chose to keep it to build a brand instead.
Big money for a single URL.
Branding wars in AI are heating up fast.

Trading is hard. But it's harder clocking in forever knowing you quit and wasted your potential.
Pick your hard.

💀 You’ve probably seen Don't Die on Netflix about Bryan Johnson. This man treats aging like a software bug and himself like the beta version.
Now he’s offering a $1M-a-year “Immortals” program with concierge medicine, relentless biomarker tracking, and access to his AI twin.
Sooo... Eternal life, but make it subscription-based.

⚠️ Trezor and Ledger users targeted with phishing letters
Owners of Trezor and Ledger wallets are receiving physical scam letters urging them to “verify” their accounts. The letters look official and come printed on branded paper.
The scam works through a QR code. Once scanned, users are asked to enter their seed phrase. Anyone who does that risks losing their crypto instantly.
❕ If someone asks for your seed phrase, it’s already a scam.

📉 85% of 2025 tokens are trading below launch
85% of token launches in 2025 are trading below their listing price. Even VC-backed deals are barely breaking even, with many deep in the red.
In Q2 2022, crypto VCs raised nearly $17B in a single quarter and launched 80+ new funds. Capital was flowing into almost anything labeled “crypto.”
Now the picture is different:
➡️ VC ROI has been falling since 2022
➡️ New fund count is at a 5-year low
➡️ Last quarter fundraising was just 12% of Q2 2022 levels
Yes, VCs deployed $8.5B last quarter, up 84% QoQ. But most of that is capital raised in 2022. From 2023 to 2025, total capital deployed is roughly equal to what was raised in 2022 alone.
The old model was simple: raise a round, launch a token, sell to retail.
That model is fading.
As VC influence weakens, projects with real users and real revenue may finally have an edge. Less insider pressure. More product focus.
The easy money cycle is closing. The build cycle might be starting.

⚠️ US reportedly preparing large-scale campaign against Iran
Tensions around Iran remain elevated. Axios reports that the US is preparing a potential military campaign that could last weeks and resemble a full-scale war, possibly in coordination with Israel.

Over the past 48 hours, the US has moved significant air assets to the Middle East:
🔴 48 F-16 fighters
🔴 12 F-22 fighters
🔴 18 F-35 fighters
🔴 6 E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft
🔴 Around 40 aerial refueling tankers
🔴 1 RC-135V Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft
This comes on top of deployments made over the past month.
